New US Computer Forensic Institute

Quincy writes "The DHS and Secret Service are setting up a new computer forensic institute in Alabama. Set to open in mid-2008, the new National Computer Forensic Institute will be able to train over 900 law enforcement officers per year. 'It will initially be staffed by 18 Secret Service agents and will feature classrooms, a forensic laboratory, an evidence vault, and server rooms. Courses will be offered in the investigation of electronic crimes, network intrusion investigation, and computer forensics... [T]he Secret Service says that it will help to bring judges and prosecutors up to speed as well.'" Maybe over time we'll see fewer botches of justice like those in the news recently.

Re:Alabama?

Thanks, man. I understand that you were trying to be funny but let's "hit the books" anyway, shall we?

1. Prejudice: "an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics." As demonstrated by your hilarious joke which directs hostility against Alabamians as beer-drunk redneck technophobes.
2. Ignorance: "lack of knowledge, education, or awareness." If I can't use the "joke" as an example twice, what about the lack of education evident in your grammar choices? "Ignorance is assuming you a person is..."
3. Idiocy: "something notably stupid or foolish." Sucking up to slashdot mods, for instance.

Your grammar and spelling in the previous post indicate that, if you are from south (as I am), then you're doing more on your own to perpetuate the ignorant stereotypes than your totally lame joke.
I can't believe I spent this much time on you.
